I'll wait and see what the new source rpms looks like before I decide what surgey is necessary. Normally, I have to disable doxygen since that swings in all kinds of X windows stuff and then go through the configure.in and delete any test that ends in a compile failure for X or related libs, regenrate a new configure, fix the Make all target not to do anything related to X, and doctor the spec file not to package X related items including desktop-fileutils entries. Openssh is a model specfile for separating X from console only stuff. I only have to set 1 variable and everything else happens like magic. I can even pass that in fomr the commandline without doctoring the specfile. That would alleviate my concerns about the intertwining of X/Gtk/Qt from a daemon. BTW, vim is a very good specfile, too, wrt separating X. -Steve Grubb __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!
